Taking Math to a higher level

I must tell you that I was a little unsure about able to add numbers. But a systematic approach helped. I started adding numbers (please refer to my earlier post) using my fingers. That became easy after 4-5 practice tests:-) But daddy had different ideas in his alabaster head. He wanted me to count numbers higher than fingers on my hand. Here, I had to really struggle and rack my brains for ideas. The Eureka moment came one afternoon, when I was looking for options. I used my pencil to draw lines, which denoted numbers. Different lines for different numbers. Then it became easy to add. After a few practice sessions, I went through the final test!! Results were as usual, predictable!! 5/5 (100%) Daddy was happy, and he asked me if I wanted to top this test with the mother of all tests!! At this young age, I am a huge risk-taker! So, I said 'YES!!"

Daddy, again, was true to his word.

I got my ice-creams. Two of them!!
